just picked up a van load of innis and gunn from the bottle o for tonight, rum one looks promising,

BGR, funnily enough, is not a day trip. You need to spend a lot of weekends recceing beforehand to learn the route - it probably takes a commitment of about a year, esp if you're London based.

You also need a strong support crew, with runners who will witness you on each peak. A friend did a solid finish with hours to spare, but it wasn't recognised as one witness broke and couldn't make it to the last 2 peaks on his leg.
All true^

Don't know how a runner of Jurek's quality only just managed to break 24hrs.

because he was taking pics and tweeting some of the way round?

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. What I'm holding on to as a consolation is that in six months I've gone from fuck all running to completing a marathon - and I went from hating running to actually quite enjoying long runs by myself with some music to listen to and thoughts to process. I might actually keep doing those. And I want to make running more fun, less serious business and more enjoying myself. Life's too short for epic suffering and beating myself up about things.

words of sense^
your blog was honest and the way many must feel in that big crowd, thanks for sharing.
you can be well proud of doing something loads of folks will never do, and raising money for a good cause.
enjoy the run

I tried to get a 10k pb at lunch, but missed out by 10 seconds, which was frustrating. My 10k pb pace (43.34) significantly lags my 5k pb pace (20.08). How can I carry the pace over distance better? More endurance stuff? Note, this is off relatively light, unstructured training. I find time for about 40km in a good week and 20km in a bad week.

try doing some k reps, measured on somewhere you know.
if you can keep to sub 4.00 mins, then try and do 8 of them smoothly.
in a real 10 k race you will be buzzing with adrenalin at the start,
able to bang out some extra at end, so concentrating on 8 good smooth ones= sub 40, 10k
(its my aim too, got 19.03 5k but really want to rinse this in may)

Under the skin. Stays with you for days and days and days

(was 6/ 30 on my 8.2 k, race)

i was running today with Kipsangs words off twitter on my head-
something like "when youre running dont think about the time you need, or who else youre racing, just see how youre body feels and run"
ACE
let hear some marathon stuff,

yep, funny Ive just logged on and see this post- good news DJ
we are connected, and social media works, just as the forum has from day 1 for those who want to, theres lots of people now have forums that work for them,
you can also just dick about like I do most of the time :/

Sound's like there was all variations of joy and pain going on at vlm
Just respect from me- post up your stories!

On a lesser note, did the 8 k BOK trot in the forest of dean, stayed resolutely in a positive mental thought loop despite some tricky slopes
Great event about 400 competitors some of my regular race mates who I beat!

Ah sandbar.nice venue.
Battered a couple of spooners festi cleansers just now. Hic. Youre my best pal

Yeah have a great marathon out there VLM crew. Remember while youre banging it out the Greek origins of the ultimate race and be proud! And ignore that chimp at mile 20 ffs
